Certification Agencies

SCUBA SCHOOLS INTERNATIONAL GREW OUT OF THE PASSION OF A FEW AVID DIVERS WHO WERE INTENT ON MAKING IT POSSIBLE FOR ANYONE TO LEARN HOW TO SCUBA DIVE.

For more than 45 years, SSI has provided training, scuba diving certification, and educational resources for divers, dive instructors, dive centers and resorts around the world. Started in 1970, SSI has expanded to include more than 30 Service Centers, is represented in more than 110 countries with over 2,800 International locations, and has materials printed in more than 30 languages. SSI is the name to trust in the diving world, and we attribute that success to our uncompromising standards and focused methodology.

Since June 1, 2010, Scuba Schools International is one of the few training agencies who qualified for a Global ISO Certification. 7 SSI Programs, 5 for divers and 2 for instructors, have certifications that meet the International Standards – ISO 11121 for Try Scuba Diving, ISO 24801-1 to -3 for Scuba Diver to Dive Guide, ISO 11107 for Enriched Air Nitrox and 24802-1 and -2 for Dive Control Specialist and Open Water Instructor. Due to that the SSI C-Cards for the appropriate ratings will carry the ISO quality label in the future.

Το Ινστιτούτο Ελεύθερης Κατάδυσης & Άπνοιας (Free Diving Institute, FDI ), είναι οργανισμός που σκοπό έχει να προωθήσει την επαφή του ανθρώπου με τη θάλασσα και ειδικότερα με το υποβρύχιο περιβάλλον, την ελεύθερη κατάδυση και το υποβρύχιο κυνήγι.

Το εκπαιδευτικό σύστημα του FDI είναι ένα σύγχρονο και άρτια δομημένο πρόγραμμα, που δίνει τη δυνατότητα σε όλους να ενταχθούν σε μικρά ή μεγαλύτερα προγράμματα σχολείων, ειδικοτήτων και σεμιναρίων για να αποκτήσουν ή να διευρύνουν τις γνώσεις τους, να βελτιώσουν την τεχνική και τις επιδόσεις τους με έμφαση στην ασφάλεια.

The PADI TecRec Difference

PADI TecRec courses are the quality benchmarks in the tec diving world due to their rigorous, yet logical, training sequence and the PADI educational materials that support them. TecRec courses are instructionally valid and have a seamless course flow that takes you from a new tec diver to one qualified to dive to the outer reaches of sport diving. Each level introduces you to new gear and procedures to extend your dive limits.

Technical Diving

Technical (tec) diving means going beyond recreational scuba diving limits. But, tec divers will tell you that it’s really about the challenge and adventure of exploring places that no one else has ever seen. Tec diving is not for everyone, but it does attract experienced divers who want to go beyond their current limits and are willing to accept the added risks, training, investment and commitment it demands. If this is you, then PADI TecRec courses are your ticket to extreme adventure.
